Which sin will it be..

After creating all 7 sins I have now got to the stage where I need to pick only one to develop further...

I have chosen to continue and develop this thread because I feel it is my strongest and has inspired me to do so much with it! Im excited to see where it leads too.

ENVY

On stand- City

Before doing this experiment I was completely lost with what to do and where to go! But I think the way these hocks are placed together really portrays the big city building that you find in NYC! When they are all placed lapped over together they remind me of fish fins...

Inspiration on the stand- 3

Some on Maison Martin Margielas deconstruction collection

In a couple of posts back I mentioned deconstruction and how looking at Victoria buildings and there texture inspired me onto deconstruction. I have also looked at Maison Martin Margiela's work to gather together some inspiration as his work is very over sized and used deconstruction. So today i decided to experiment, I got my hands on a plain white shirt (the same as the one above) and off I started unpicking it. once it was back its originally pattern pieces I began to mess about and place it on the stand creating different shapes and different garments, I really enjoy doing this task as you didst know what to expect or have any idea what the outcome would be like. I would like to continue experimenting with this method. 

My favourite

I like the way the material drapes on this one

Inspiration on the stand- 1

Whilst putting together my second thread which happens to be envy I got onto lower class housing in the Victoria Era. I found this image that I found inspiring because of the look of the texture of the walls, this inspired me to create a design on the stand. It needed to convey texture and have a raw look.

I used knots to convey the different sizes

I then focused on looking at different angles on figure

I then went on to add some rope into the design to add in a more raw texture and feel to it

From doing this it made me think of deconstruction which also links into architecture when looking at architectural drawings of building.
